What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

View all responses

20241230-2330. The last I cried from “real” hurt feelings was when my younger brother made me cry. Little did I know back then that I was having my regular monthly menses. And so that was an emotional time. But that was only once and I felt truly embarrassed and stupid. Since then I refused to cry for the littlest things.

Five years ago, I did NOT feel like I needed to grieve. On that same evening, I felt grief. But after that, I stopped the grief to keep on going.

But when little Mel-Mel passed away, that was when I truly felt grief. I told myself that’s also going to pass with time but never did.

So that’s just something I forced myself to choose. I tried to force a cry during moments of remembrance or to let tears fall to test if the feeling is genuine, but the feeling is fake, if y’all will.

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

View all responses

20241230-2357. I just don’t cook. I tend to get hurt in the process. So I avoid anything to do with cooking. We used to make special dishes.

For example, at New Year’s midnight, we are supposed to eat porridge. This is made with sweet rice mixed in with pork tripe. The smell and taste are wonderful. I remember those days.

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

View all responses

20241230-2324. And this is what I’m doing: writing my blog. It’s NOT a book per se. It’s a blog about my inner musings or incoming thoughts or inspiring revelations. All this is about keeping busy and from being bored. This is for the sake of practice and from going insane while staying at home. Even if my stats are dead, at least I’d like to imagine my words are being read, just like a book.

Name your top three pet peeves.

20241230-2322. I am impatient person. I don’t have tolerance for fakery or egos. I want the real deal. I don’t like crazy people who think they are always correct. I don’t like stupid people who are too dense to get it. And I certainly don’t like smelly people who don’t know how take showers or clean up after themselves.

Who are your current most favorite people?

View all responses

20241230-2317. I don’t have any favorites. I just don’t worship idols, being celebrities, politicians, or anyone seen on the television.

I may have some favorites online. But we are pretty much strangers, who don’t talk to each other. And if we do have anything to share, it’s just one sentence in an email or a few minutes of without substance.

Really, that’s what I meant: there is nothing to talk about. We’re past that. I’m through worrying about the next conversational piece. It’s just easier if we imagined we are each other’s favorite.

What are your favorite animals?

View all responses

20241230-2309. So far those are the only two critters that I seem to see more often than the usual mainstream pet markets: ants and spiders.

I do have lots of baby spiders making their webbed homes inside our homes. The purpose for keep these critters is to control the ants that make their way into our homes. Otherwise, I’d vacuum up the ants that happen to get in the way.

For the most part, I try to let them live, carefully vacuuming up their ant preys and cleaning up more spider webs than ever before. I have some resident daddy long legs for sure!

I just feel terrible knowing that I’ve taken out so many spiders and daddy long legs in the past and NOT knowing they too need to eat and live like all other critters. My inspiration came from YouTube videos about those cute jumping spiders.

So yeah, spiders and ants are my two favorite animals so far. This is a better arrangement than using chemical sprays around the house, which I used unfortunately today to keep the remaining ants from getting too much in my pathway.

This is way better than the cats and dogs. I don’t like cats and dogs. Their teeth and claws are weapons. Their breathes smell. And their fur shed all over the place! Plus, they eat raw meat and have to be dewormed and vaccinated! I just don’t want to bury another beloved pet. I can’t get over my little Mel-Mel parakeet.

Basically, I just do NOT know what I am doing and my decision making on other life forms is just not worth my time and energy.

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

View all responses

20241230-2305. I prefer the flat plains. The beach and mountains both have too many things going. Sand giving to surprises underfoot and poop from overhead. Strange noises from deep within the thickets and bush. And overall gusty winds that never seem to warm the bones.

I would just prefer being in between the beach or the mountains or where I’m at: the valley. Silicon Valley. Big tech. The outskirts of the city or really a suburb. No tourist spots to worry about. Or looters, too. Just a normal existence behind the computer. No elements to shoot splinters into the eyes.

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

View all responses

20241230-2256. Now what in TF would I want to meet someone from the past. It’s bad enough that I get freaked out watching horror shows or scary movies or video clicks of the paranormals!

That’s almost like any New Ager asking for trouble by consulting that which are invisible, or technically, ghosts in the machine, which is a game or matrix.

So, no, I don’t want to meet an un-alive historical figure. Then again, we are supposed to meet Jesus Christ in heaven and then there is a decision to go to the light, be reincarnated or something else.

Do you trust your instincts?

View all responses

20241230-2252. We do NOT have instincts. Instincts belong to animals. Humans are NOT animals. Whosoever made instincts part of human learning needs to be shot!

Anyways, if we have zero survival skills since birth, we humans do NOT have instincts! Instead we have to be taught, indoctrinated, brainwashed into believing that certain “truths” or constructs are “real”. And that we are to believe within some made-up rules and punishable by authority of law.

I believe humans are like computers that a programmer could insert a set of commands for the humans to “act out” or perform, much like apes who don’t know any better than be rewarded with food for good behavior.

That’s how disgusting this whole realm has operated. Prove me wrong.

What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

View all responses

20241230-2249. Everyday is just the same as any month or year. I don’t have any favorite month. I prefer colder months. But because I live in a warmer zone, I don’t always feel the cold air until late in the season.

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

View all responses

20241230-2245. I really do NOT have any favorites because I’m forced to go wherever is convenient. If I only knew what I really wanted and needed, I would travel far and wide for speciality items. But since the advent of online shopping and convenient stores, I just pick and choose the next available item.

Since I do NOT go anywhere, I only go to the grocery stores and lockers to pickup my orders as needed.
